India v South Africa 2025 | 2nd Test | Guwahati | November 22-26 | Match Discussion

[AZulfi]

In the history of test cricket, there are very few examples of teams scoring this kind of a first innings total and losing the match. It will take something incredible for India to win from here

Agreed. Odds are heavily stacked against an Indian win. However, 450 overs is a lot of cricket and teams have lost games despite scoring 500+/- in the first innings of a test match.

On this venue, bad light is making sure 10 overs of play is deducted every passing day. We had 80 overs of cricket on in Day 1 and approx 76 overs of cricket on Day 2. Expect a total of not more than 400 overs played in this match.

The only way India can win is if they magically score 600+ runs in 150 overs and declare few overs before Day 4 end. Then South Africa gets bundled up at 150. But this is more like a wish than reality.

so nice to see SA emerging as the top test team after years of india and australia dominating
